Shortcut to open the Find dialog box in Excel

Question

Is there a shortcut that will open the Find dialog box?  This can be found in the window at the top right of the Excel workbook by selecting Advanced, but this is just another added step.  I was looking for results like Command L that opens the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.

This is on a Mac running High Sierra Version 10.13.6 with Office 365 Version 16.15 for Mac installed.

thanks ahead of time...

I have no idea what this "Independent Advisor" is trying to get at, but if you'll go to Edit> Find> Find... in the Excel menu bar you'll see that the built-in keyboard shortcut is Shift+Control+F.

The majority of built-in keyboard shortcuts are listed in the Help> Excel Help menu... enter keyboard shortcuts in the Search online help field. The first hit produced will be:  Keyboard shortcuts in Excel 2016 for Mac.

As Bob Jones pointed out, the shortcut is now Ctrl+Shift+F.

Ctrl+H will give the Replace dialog which can be used instead easily.

I expect that you can modify this back to Ctrl+F as well. I do not have a Mac and am writing from my experiences with the Windows version. That version is similar, but the two are not the same. While I used Word on a Mac, that was a long time ago. Nevertheless, I hope that I can be of some help.

Here is the modification dialog in Word for the Mac. I suspect you would find it under preferences.

Hello

Regarding the problems that you may be presenting with the Office 365 app on your updated Mac.

I recommend you validate the following article where it tells you which version is the most recommended and validate its functionalities.

I am running the current Mac OS and the latest Excel.  This is not a problem... just asking a usability question.
